The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher)
Chapter 41

Chapter 41

After Christopher instructed Solomon, he got out of the car and entered the main building with Cecilia.

The main building was his personal space. No one could enter except for those who cooked and cleaned. Not to mention the members of the Forte family, even his few best friends could only enter the annex. Therefore, when he led Cecilia into the main building, all the bodyguards and ser**nts were stunned. They also silently remembered Cecilia and treated her as the lady of the house.

Cecilia didn't know that not everyone could enter the main building.

But she didn't miss the shock on the faces of the bodyguards standing at the door. She didn't ask further.

Christopher brought Cecilia his slippers and said, "Put them on first. I will prepare new ones for you next time."

His slippers were big. After she had put them on, Cecilia walked very slowly because she was afraid of dropping them. Suddenly, her body was lifted.

Her intuitive sense of self-protection made her raise her elbow and hit Christopher in the face.

Christopher had anticipated her movements and dodged back first:

"It's been three years since you left, and you haven't forgotten your trained instincts. Not bad," he said.

Cecilia moved her body. "What are you doing? Put me down!"

He responded, "The slippers don't fit well. You walked too slow in it. We can walk faster if I carry you. It's late now. The sooner The True Lady Strikes Back

we see William, the sooner you can go back."

Christopher had a good reason, so Cecilia stopped struggling.

When they reached the backyard, she suddenly realized what had happened.

Although she had no evidence, she seriously doubted that Christopher had deliberately made her change his slippers. "What a scheming old man!"

Cecilia had just finished cursing in her heart when she heard him say, "Here we are."

Then, she was also put on the ground.

In front of them was a fully enclosed utility room.

When the door was opened, it was dark inside with an unpleasant, musty smell.

A dim streetlight shone through, allowing them to make out the layout barely.

The utility room was a camouflaged secret room.

Cecilia turned to look at Christopher and said, "If you use this trick on William, he might not last an hour."

Because even for people with special training like them, entering the secret room would be a great torture.

There was no light or sound. They could not feel the passage of time because their five senses were magnified infinitely. Fear gradually spread until they were completely overwhelmed. "You can only long for the light after you have passed through endless darkness." After Christopher finished speaking, he took the lead in entering the secret room.

He felt for the switch on the wall and turned on the light.

The small and cramped room was instantly filled with dazzling light.

William curled up like a ball in the corner.

His nails were broken from scratching the wall so hard, and blood pooled under his hands into a small puddle that had dried up. Christopher walked over and kicked him.

William fell to the ground, his head buried in his chest.

He had become numb to the pain, but the blinding light was his salvation. Soon, he woke up.

The moment he opened his eyes, he immediately closed them again, then cried and laughed like a ps*cho.

"I'm going to turn the lights off again if you don't shut up," Christopher said.

William was so frightened by these words that he trembled. He hastily bit down on his chapped lips to keep himself from making a sound.

He opened his eyes and looked around greedily after he got used to the light.

When he saw Cecilia, his eyes flashed with amazement and instinctive lust.

Christopher's expression darkened, and he kicked William in the corner of his eye.

Just the slightest deviation and his eyes would be ruptured.

William screamed and fell to the ground.

He got up quickly. Blood flowed from the injured corner of his eye, turning his eyes red.

He had no time to think about it and immediately knelt before Christopher.

"Uncle Christopher, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I will repay you by doing everything and anything!"

He didn't want to be locked up here. It would kill him!

Christopher stepped on William's valgus fingernails and

crushed them hard.

"Your promise is worthless. You said the same thing the last time at Skyhaven Club, How can I trust you?"

William was shaking in pain but didn't dare to pull his hand back. "Uncle Christopher, I meant it this time. I..."

"Instead of talking nonsense here, why don't you give me the answer I want? For example, who placed the order in the black market to kill me." William's face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't say a word..

Because it was him who led the murder.

Christopher squatted down with his eyes full of murderous intent. "Don't be afraid. I won't kill you, but you have to tell me who the rest are."

"Uncle Christopher, I'll say it. I'll tell you everything!"

When Cecilia heard this, she asked, "The person Juliana wanted to kill is me, right?"

William could no longer feel his hand, and bright red blood spread across the floor.

He nodded weakly, "Yes. I used you as an excuse to drag her down."

When he finished, he remembered one thing that could make up for his mistake. "By the way, Juliana had a crush on Uncle Christopher. She begged me to create opportunities so that she could be with him and win him over."

Cecilia knew that Juliana was selfish and realistic, so she wasn't surprised that she had a crush on Christopher.

"You've been with Juliana for so long. You must have something on her, right?"

After some thought, William came up with one. "Juliana looks innocent and beautiful, but she has been scheming. I don't

have anything on her, but I know someone is blackmailing her for money."

If someone could extort money, that person had something on Juliana.

Cecilia didn't take William's words seriously. Because Juliana's biggest weakness was pretending to be ill, but it was useless

now.

"Do you have any proof that Juliana hired a killer?" she asked.

"No."

Christopher finally loosened his foot and threw William's phone at him. "Start a livestream, and tell everyone how you hired the killer and who your accomplices are."

Although there was no evidence to send these people to prison, he had other ways to deal with them.

William looked at the phone on the floor. He didn't even dare to pick it up.

His life would be over as soon as he started a livestream and told everyone that he had hired a killer on the black market. Christopher thought of something as William hesitated.

"By the way, I gave your grandfather Fabian choices. I will let you go if he agrees to send your mother to prison to suffer for you. Unfortunately, so far, he hasn't agreed. If you don't believe me, please call and ask."

After Christopher said that, he felt he did not need to stay any longer. He called for a bodyguard to keep an eye on William -and made sure to start a livestream after the call.

"If he doesn't do it, beat him to death," Christopher ordered.

"Noted, Mr. Christopher Forte."

William called Fabian. When the latter heard this, he was so scared that he dropped his phone.

At the same time, Fabian's concerned voice came from his

phone, "William, where are you? I'm so worried about you? Fabian thought, William is not in Christopher's hands at all. Otherwise, how can he make the call It's because he's been so busy that he hasn't contacted me for a long time

He said inwardly. "If this old man dares to give up on me, I will make it hard for everyone!"
